Mottisfont

 

We visit Mottisfont on Thursday 22nd May, Hear what the National Trust has to say about the property.

.

Ancient trees, bubbling brooks and rolling lawns frame this 18th-century house with a medieval priory at its heart.

​

Maud Russell made Mottisfont her home in the 1930s, bringing artists here to relax and create works inspired by Mottisfont’s past, including an extraordinary drawing-room painted by Rex Whistler. We continue those artistic traditions today, with a permanent 20th-century art collection and major exhibitions in our top-floor gallery.

​

Outside, carpets of spring bulbs, a stunning walled rose garden, rich autumn leaves and a colourful winter garden make Mottisfont a feast for the senses all year round. Our world-famous collection of old-fashioned roses flowers once a year in June. Winding paths meander through stately trees, with the sound of water never far away.​
